That seemed to be a goto point for anyone that was in San Francisco in the 90s.
“There used to be so many artists in this formerly horrible neighborhood, it was awesome!” Perplexing, but they’re right, this transplant would have never come there as nothing would have been moderately appealing about it to me.
Detroit has artists too. So doesnt seem like the strongest argument.
But to the groupies, it appears the artists have gone. And that’s because in the mop-geek-sociopath trichotomy, the groupies are the mops. The geeks have hidden themselves from the mops because the latter are creative leeches.
So if you don’t know where the artists have gone, it’s because they went to get away from you.

I read everything I could about that, and yeah I would have gotten out of there as fast as I could
It was the most obvious sign to me that the society there simply is too incongruent to work
Transplant that wasnt even supposed to be there calls cops on a licensed security guard eating in the park who had legally had a holstered taser on, transplant watches behind the bushes as the state hit squad pulls up on the guy in the fog and shoots him without question due to his uniform being “gang colors”. All while the transplant is texting trayvon martin references to his buddy about how he was looking for an excuse to handle this himself if he was in another state, and then winds up dodging police bullets while on the phone with 911. All cops acquitted.
